All About Dressing Rooms

Image
Have a look at this walnut Clive Christian dressing room. It's so beautiful. I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful dressing room than this. This is exactly what I want. I love everything about this. I also love the ceiling, the lighting the carpet and the lamps. The mannequin busts are an unnecessary extra (for me). I'd rather have all my clothes neatly tucked away in the closet. I understand that the dark walnut wood will put off many but I absolutely love it. Here's another picture from another angle. Pretty good, huh? I think this design has been around for five or six years.  I think I first saw this in 2014 or 2015.  Here's another colour. I suppose this looks a lot brighter, and I reckon it will make the room appear larger, spacious, airy and bright. On the downside, it looks 'high maintenance'. I definitely do not like the white dressing room. It lacks a 'premium feel' that the walnut dressing has. Don't get me wrong, the white d

All About Fridges

Image
People were going on and on about Kim Kardashian's fridge the other month. Personally,  I didn't rate it because the fridge isn't really a fridge. It's basically a well kept and organised cold room. Would I like something like that for my next house? Kim Kardashian's cold room: Instagram No thanks. It's a bit too industrial and somewhat too simple for my liking. When it comes to fridges, I prefer them traditional, big and custom made. The fridge below represents EVERYTHING I want in a fridge. The Meneghini La Cambusa: Image credit: Robeys Yes! I love the size of this fridge. It's imposing and it screams ultra LUXURY! It is exactly the kind of thing I want in my next house. It isn't the fridge per sé but it's the sheer scale that I'm quite fond of. I think this is all I'm going to write about today. In my next post, I'll focus on kitchen cupboards and designs. When it comes to kitchens, Clive Christian is on top of my l

Owning This House Is My Ultimate Dream

Image
I have dreamt about owning this house for a very long time. Its big, sits on two and a half acres,  I became aware of this property in 2016 and I've tried to get in touch with the owner on several occasions. The current owner purchased this property in 2013 , I believe, and just sat on it and watched it rot.  I'm not sure what he's planning on doing with it. It's previous owner was a member of the Saudi royal family. He purchased it in the late eighties and didn't finish building it. Renovating this would be a mission because it's basically an empty rotting shell. The ceiling has caved in some rooms, the floorboards have rotted, the roof leaks, the stairs have plants growing, rats are running everywhere, the indoor swimming pool sometimes fills up with rain water and there's damage everywhere. It's a mess. My rough guess is it'd cost at least £10 million to renovate this mansion. The exterior needs a lot of work but the inside needs a compl

I Love This

Just check out this boundary fence. It's so beautiful. This is the kind of boundary fence I want for my next house. I want something grand and very pretty. When it comes to boundary fences, I love them high. This one in the image above is exactly what I want. It is 100% perfect in my eyes and boundary fences don't come prettier than this. I love everything about it. I love the colour and the gold plated iron details.

Barons Court On The Market

Image
This is one house that has really caught my interest ever since I first laid eyes on it earlier this year. It's been in the same family since 1976 and has been empty for a while. It was recently put on the market in September 2019. I imagine it'd cost at least £2 million to bring it back to life. It sits on two and a half acres and has a tennis court as well as a swimming pool. I'd remove the pool and replace it with a huge garden fish pond. I'm not into tennis so I'd also remove the tennis court and replace it with lawn!  I do not like the green window shutters, and especially, the green door. That garage has two bedrooms, I think.  It really isn't in bad condition.  I'm not a fan of this type of maze like garden design. That'd have to go I'd turn the pool house into an outdoor kitchen & entertainment area and replace the pool with a huge nature pond.
